So, the Dodgers aren’t perfect. Busch did major damage against his former organization, and he picked up four of the Cubs’ 21 hits against Los Angeles in a game that was 1-0 until the sixth. Busch has gotten off to a very solid start on the season with a pair of homers, nine RBI, a .300 average and an OPS of .926.

Swanson has really struggled out of the gate this season, so it was nice to see him finally hit the ball well. This was his first three-hit game on the campaign and it raised his batting average by nearly 20 points to finally climb back above the Mendoza Line. He still has plenty of work to do though as one of the more disappointing players in the league to this point.

Boyd rode his changeup to a solid start here. The Pirates packed their lineup with eight right-handed batters against the lefty Boyd and he responded by consistently dotting that changeup. It regularly fell down just below the zone and forced plenty of weak swings on pitches that were out of reach. In all, it earned six swings-and-misses and got him out of a few jams. He now has a 2.70 ERA in what was a solid first month of the season. He’s set for a two-start week coming up against the Giants and Mets.

The move is now official. Flexen has been summoned to join Chicago’s relief mix ahead of Wednesday’s showdown against the division-rival Pirates. The 30-year-old journeyman has an extensive track record of mediocre results at the highest level, but he’s recorded a strong 1.16 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 21/8 K/BB ratio across 23 1/3 innings (five starts) this season in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He’s a name to watch in deeper mixed leagues over the next few weeks.

Contreras obliterated his home run at 110.2 mph and 421 feet. That was a nice welcome to the big leagues moment for Reds’ rookie starter Chase Petty. Overall, Contreras has done well to put an ugly start to the season behind him with an .824 OPS over his last 15 games and is currently riding a 13 game on-base streak. That is the Contreras we know and expected to see this season. It’s good to finally have him back.

Goldschmidt gets an opportunity in the leadoff spot on Wednesday night with young lefty Cade Povich toeing the rubber for Baltimore. It’ll be red-hot Trent Grisham batting second followed by franchise cornerstone Aaron Judge and emerging slugger Ben Rice in the heart of the order.
